8 Chapter 8

After my outburst of finding out that Lucario was now taller than me, I said my goodbyes to Brock after receiving the boulder badge. I left the gym followed by lucario, still with victini on my shoulder. I decided that since my pokemon did so well in the gym, we could take the day off before my video conference the next day. After all, since I had gotten all that research from that ROB or whatever, I needed to bullshit my way through all the questions that I would get. My pokemon and I walked through the town, while getting quite a few looks from passersby, before getting som equipment and once again entering the forest.

We sat down in a clearing near the edge of the forest before I let all my pokemon out. Swinub and cranidos was shocked seeing the evolved pokemon, but they soon started to play together as I started to make some food.

Having eaten my pokemon just continued playing around while I just sat there playing my guitar.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna lay in my bed. Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone, 'cause today I swear I'm not doing anything."

There was no other sound for me. I heard nothing else than just me and my music.

"Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan. Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants. Nobody's gon' tell me I can't, nah. I'll be lounging on the couch, just chilling in my snuggie. Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie, 'cause in my castle I'm the freaking man."

I was so immersed in my music that I heard nothing else. I felt the music in my bones as I felt that this was my first real relaxation since arriving in this world.

"Oh, yes, I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I can."

I never noticed as my pokemon sat next to me to listen as I sung one of the first songs I wrote as a teen in my old world.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna lay in my bed. Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone, `cause today I swear I'm not doing anything."

I finished my song and finally noticed as my pokemon was laying around me, sleeping. They seemedto have been tired as well.

- Timeskip next morning. Pokemon center.

I just woke up in my usual sleepwear, a pair of bike-shorts and a big hoodie. Remembering that I had a video conferance today with professor Oak and other professors, I reluctantly got up from my comfortable position and completed my usual routine. I gave my pokemon their food and ate with them. I gave my pokemon the option to stay in the room, but Lucario and victini chose to follow while the rest stayed, relaxing.

Before leaving, I got dressed in a pair of black high waist shorts and a black cropped hoodie under the lab coat that I got from professor Oak. I wore a pair of black thigh high socks and a pair of black sneakers. To finish it off, I had a pure black choker with a bell on the front. I thought that if I look like this, I might as well dress like it.

Having dressed, I soon left the room with lucario next to me and victini on my shoulder. We arrived to the lobby where I could see multiple people standing around. It seemed that it was more people than usual considering nurse Joy frantically running around. Being concerned I walked up to her and asked.

"Nurse Joy, is everything okay?"

"Oh, good morning. Yes yes everything is alright. Its just been so long since we had so many pokemon to heal and such."

"Is there anything that I can help with?"

"Ehm.... Maybe if you had a psychic pokemon, considering you are a trainer and all."

"Thats perfect, victini here should be able to help you then." I said as I pointed to my shoulder where victini responded by making the V sign and smiling at nurse Joy.

"Really, he is? Then do you mind helping me a bit, victini was it?"

"Tiiini!" Victini responded and flew over to nurse Joys shoulder to help her for a bit.

"Help her okay victini? And remember that Im over by the phones when youre done, alright?"

"Tini, victini!" Victini nodded as nurse Joy started heading inside to help heal the different pokemon.

I left for the phones right after to await the call from Oak, though I didnt have to wait long before the call came. I answered the call.

"Hello there professor." I said.

"Ah, Rimuru my boy. How did your battle go?"

"It went well professor. Riolu even evolved."

"Did he now? Thats amazing. Now Im sorry to cut the pleasent conversation short, but Im gonna switch you over to the hall screen where you can give your speech and answer some questions. And dont worry, all of those that will listen are professors from different regions."

"Got it professor." I said as the screen went black for a minute and I noticed lucario standing right next to me. The screen soon changed, and I could see a big hall that was covered in people with white coats like my own. Soon I heard a person speak on the other end.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen. My name is professor Samuel Oak as some of you know. This conference was called on a short notice considering it was hard to reach the one we are here to listen to. Please welcome the newly accepted professor Rimuru Tempest."

- POV conference hall.

The screen on the end of the hall lit up showing a young boy, girl? no matter, it showed a young person with a lab coat with a lucario at their side. The room was filled with applause showing that we were here to listen to what this person had to say.

"Hello everyone. As professor Oak just said, I am a newly accepted professor, my name is Rimuru Tempest. It is nice to meet all of you." The person now known as Rimuru Tempest waved their hand with a tilted eye smile for a moment in greeting.

"Now then my boy. Why dont you tell us a bit about some of the discoveries that you made. Thats what we are here for anyways." Oak laughed to himself while the hall just thought in unison `BOY?´.

"Very well professor. Now as I said, I am Rimuru Tempest. I am currently in Pewter city since I wanted to try my luck in competing in the leugues. Before that though, I travelled through many regions, discovering multiple things. One of the many things that I discovered was the concept mega evolution." The hall was silent as they listened to Rimurus explanation of the concept behind a secondary type of evolution of some species of pokemon.

"Before we continue, are there any questions?" I asked into the hall. A few hands rised up.

"Professor Rowan, please?"

"Yes, ehem. It seems plausible with such a concept, but has this been tested in the field?"

"Yes indeed it has. Like I told professor Oak when I met him a few weeks ago, I had a borrowed Gyarados while travelling that came into contact with a megastone that corresponded to his species while I myself carried what I call a key-stone." I lifted my necklace. "As you can see, I always carry this key-stone while I also carry around multiple mega stones in my bag as I travel."

"Now if there arent any more questions about that, I will continue with the multiple fields of study that I have conducted." I said before going on to describe and show picture of multiple undiscovered species of pokemon, fairy-type energy and finishing up with dynamaxing.

"And that is all that I currently have, but I will make sure to send professor Oak any of my research material, should I come across any." I concluded before the hall erupted in applause. "Thank you."

"Thank you my boy. I know that you have a lot to do considering that you are about to leave Pewter, is that right?" Oak asked to which I nodded.

"Indeed professor. I plan to leave tomorrow with my team to head for mount moon followed by Cerulean city." I told him.

"Then if you dont mind, call me tomorrow before you leave will you? I want to see how the condition of your team is if you dont mind."

"Of course professor. I believe you would be shocked at their progress."

"Hahaha, Im looking forward to it. Then goodnight my boy."

"Goodnight professor." I said before closing the screen.

Elsewhere in the room, a female voice was heard.

"Wait, wasnt that a Victini on his shoulder? Thats a mythical pokemon from Unova." The hall went silent at that.

"Indeed miss Juniper. Victini was one of his first pokemon and always follow him around. It was the first time that I had seen one when he one day showed up at my lab." The hall erupted with murmurs at those words.

- POV Rimuru.

After the call I sighed. Having to bullshit so much in front of experienced professors took its toll on me. Lucario just put an arm around my shoulder and lightly hugged me. I looked up with a tired smile.

"Thanks buddy. I can always count on you." I said as I saw a smile on lucarios face before I blacked out. The last thing I felt was being carried.
